The backup command that is supplied with OS9 (both levels!!!) refuses to backup a disk onto another disk that was formatted differently. This makes sense in that you can't backup a 40 track disk onto a 35 track disk. Unfortunately this won't let you backup a 35 track disk to a 40 track disk. Is there "something" that will let you do this. It shouldn't be that hard to do - just backup the first 35 tracks, then mark the sectors on track 0 to say that its really a 40 track disk. If anyone knows of "something" to do this, I'd appreciate hearing.... Dave Fulmer df1b+@andrew.cmu.edu (arpa) df1b+%andrew.cmu.edu@cmccvma (bitnet) ...!seismo!andrew.cmu.edu!df1b+

There is a tool called 'DUP' floating around that will do what you are
looking for. I believe it has a ceiling of 800 ($800 ?) sectors on
the target device (why??). It appeared here on the net about 1.5 years
back, methinks..

You better check the syntax for dsave; I'm just typing from the top of my head and could be wrong. . . . Good luck.

Well, unfortunately I don't have access to net stuff from a year ago, so can some kind soul either mail it to me, or if there's interest, could someone post it? Thanks!

Yea, I know all about dsave, but I want to avoid the 15 minute process that this involves!!!
